Concrete panel advice needed for grain storage

[Farmer Fin]

Hi we are looking at putting concrete panels around a shed that was previously a cold store. The spans are 6ms. It’s just for temporary grain storage. Looking at putting in 1 x 1.5m heigh panel per bay.
2 questions what thickness of panel and would it be strong enough to put the panels between the beams rather than on the face? Was thinking it would save space, but I think the fixings wouldn’t be strong enough? Thanks

Drill the beams and put a large angle iron up them behind the panel to hold it in place as the clips won't have much hold putting panels between the beams

We’ve done similar for a silage pit 3X 1m panels high although it was back filled round the outside. If it’s only a 1.5m panel you’ll be fine. Just spec really thick/heavy angle irons and gun the bolts as tight as you can.

I have another shed that we did this on. My issue with this shed is access as there is already a cladding panel on the outside of the beam so there won’t be enough room to get the angle in. I think we will just have to put them on the face. Cheers

Dont be daft
Put them on the face

Similar boat but for different use.

we are going 4 inch ( go 6 for grain) and either fit to inside (pushing against the steels) or inside steels so it pushes on outer web.

more clearing up if you don’t keep them on the inside. You may also have to look at cutting and rewelding the inner web to get panels inside the web To start with.

you can put them between steels and sit them against the inner web and wedge them in with welded on lumps behind panel between outer web but can’t see much benefit if this.

im going between panels but against outerweb as more space. Also easy to rodent proof as panels will but up neatly to outer cladding

For grain the panels will be very heavy
